The post has been met with a massive amount of praise, as Love Island is often slammed for 'encouraging an unrealistic standard of beauty.'

One fan writes "There are not many celebs worth following but you are worth your weight in gold... I wish more celebs were as honest and real as you are. Maybe then women would feel less pressure on them and the world would be a better place."

Another fan says "Love this! You look stunning, I look similar when I’m bloated."

One person commented "That's so interesting, I have IBS and the bloating can be horrendous. Totally feel you on that, especially when kids at work ask me when I'm having my baby (I tell them it's a food baby.)"
